Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to the field of communications, and more particularly, to a system information configuration method and device.
- the minimum system information (MSI, Minimum System Information) is the system information necessary for the terminal to make the initial access.
- a part of the minimum system information is transmitted through PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel, Physical Broadcast Channel), and the remaining minimum system information (RMSI, Remaining Minimum System Information) is transmitted through PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, Physical Downlink Shared Channel).
- the PDSCH transmitting the RMSI is scheduled by using a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel, physical downlink control channel).
- the PDCCH (PDSCH used to schedule the bearer RMSI) is indicated by RMSI control resource set (CORESET, Control Resource Set) configuration information.
- the RMSI CORESET configuration information belongs to the minimum system information and is transmitted on the PBCH channel.
- Each RMSI CORESET is associated with a system synchronization block (SSB, System Synchronization Block).
- the RMSI CORESET and the SSB have two multiplexing modes, frequency division multiplexing (FDM, Frequency Division Multiplexing) or time division multiplexing (TDM, Time Division Multiplexing), respectively.

- C is the bandwidth occupied by the SSB at a granularity of SSB RB;
- D is a frequency domain offset indication of RMSI CORESET relative to SSB, with a granularity of RMSI RB.
- the carrier bandwidth used in designing frequency offset settings for a radio frequency band will be greater than or equal to the minimum bandwidth specified for that radio frequency band.
- the SCS of the RMSI may be the same as or different from the SCS of the associated SSB.
- a key point in the RMSI CORESET configuration design is how to configure the frequency offset between the RMSI CORESET and the associated SSB, i.e. how to configure the difference between the minimum RB index of the SSB and the minimum RB index of the RMSI CORESET, corresponding to parameter D in FIG. 1 .

Abstract
Description
- The present application claims a priority of Chinese patent application No.
, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.201810032494.X filed on January 12, 2018 - The present disclosure relates to the field of communications, and more particularly, to a system information configuration method and device.
- In the 5G NR (New Radio) system, the minimum system information (MSI, Minimum System Information) is the system information necessary for the terminal to make the initial access. A part of the minimum system information is transmitted through PBCH (Physical Broadcast Channel, Physical Broadcast Channel), and the remaining minimum system information (RMSI, Remaining Minimum System Information) is transmitted through PDSCH (Physical Downlink Shared Channel, Physical Downlink Shared Channel). In addition, the PDSCH transmitting the RMSI is scheduled by using a PDCCH (Physical Downlink Control Channel, physical downlink control channel). The PDCCH (PDSCH used to schedule the bearer RMSI) is indicated by RMSI control resource set (CORESET, Control Resource Set) configuration information. The RMSI CORESET configuration information belongs to the minimum system information and is transmitted on the PBCH channel.
- Each RMSI CORESET is associated with a system synchronization block (SSB, System Synchronization Block). The RMSI CORESET and the SSB have two multiplexing modes, frequency division multiplexing (FDM, Frequency Division Multiplexing) or time division multiplexing (TDM, Time Division Multiplexing), respectively. Here, the time division multiplexing means that the RMSI CORESET and the associated SSB are transmitted on different OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) symbols in the time domain. The time division multiplexing mode must be supported when the system cannot support the frequency division multiplexing mode.
- NR supports different multiplexing modes between SSB and RMSI CORESET. The time division multiplexing mode is also referred to as "
Mode 1"; [1, and 2] refers to a multiplexing mode in which SSB and RMSI CORESET occur at different times. For time division multiplexing "Mode 1", the time division multiplexing manner of the RMSI CORESET and the associated SSB is shown inFIG. 1 , where "A" is the carrier bandwidth and has a granularity of RMSI RB (Resource Block); "B" is the bandwidth occupied by the RMSI CORESET at a granularity of RMSI RB; "C" is the bandwidth occupied by the SSB at a granularity of SSB RB; "D" is a frequency domain offset indication of RMSI CORESET relative to SSB, with a granularity of RMSI RB. The carrier bandwidth used in designing frequency offset settings for a radio frequency band will be greater than or equal to the minimum bandwidth specified for that radio frequency band. Each RMSI RB and SSB RB uses a bandwidth equal to 12 times the bandwidth of their respective SCS. For example, when SCS=15kHz, one RB uses a bandwidth of 180kHz. The SCS of the RMSI may be the same as or different from the SCS of the associated SSB. - A key point in the RMSI CORESET configuration design is how to configure the frequency offset between the RMSI CORESET and the associated SSB, i.e. how to configure the difference between the minimum RB index of the SSB and the minimum RB index of the RMSI CORESET, corresponding to parameter D in
FIG. 1 . - In the 3GPP RAN1#91 meeting, it has been determined that the following combinations of SSB SCS and RMSI CORSET SCS are supported:
- combinations under 6GHz include: {SS SCS, RMSI SCS} = {15,15} kHz, {15,30} kHz, {30,15} kHz, {30,30} kHz;
- combinations above 6GHz include: {SS SCS, RMSI SCS} = {120, 60} kHz, {120,120} kHz, {240, 60} kHz, {240,120} kHz.
- For any combination of SSB subcarrier spacing (SCS, Subcarrier Spacing) and RMSI CORESET SCS, it is desirable to support as many RMSI CORESET configurations as possible from a system design point of view. However, the NR protocol specifies that only 4 bits in the PBCH can be used to indicate the frequency offset between the start position of the RMSI CORESET and the start position of the associated SSB, i.e. a total of only 2^4=16 cases can be indicated.
- Tables 13-1 to 13-8 in 3GPP protocol standard TS 38.213 [2] have given the frequency offset configuration between the RMSI CORESET and the associated SSB supporting the combination of SSB SCS and RMSI CORSET SCS above.
- However, due to the limitation of meeting time in the related art, the consideration of the frequency offset configuration for RMSI CORESET with respect to SSB in Tables 13-1 to 13-8 in TS38.213 [2] is not comprehensive. In particular, the effects of factors such as a SS Raster and a minimum channel bandwidth are not considered for 6GHz or less.

- Step 22: performing a frequency offset configuration of the RMSI CORESET with respect to the SSB according to the frequency offset configuration parameter.
- According to the system information configuration method in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the frequency offset configuration of the RMSI CORESET with respect to the SSB is performed by combining factors such as RMSI SCS and SSB SCS combination, channel bandwidth, SS Raster, and RMSI CORESET bandwidth. In consideration of the above, the protocol configuration method is improved, and correctness of the protocol configuration is ensured.
- In some embodiments of the present disclosure, only RMSI CORESET is referred to, and if not specifically described RMSI all refer to RMSI CORESET.
- Optionally, the
step 21 includes:
Step 211: determining, based on the target parameters corresponding to carrier frequency bands in different frequency ranges, the frequency offset configuration parameters of the carrier frequency bands in different frequency ranges. - Here, the frequency offset configuration parameters of the carrier frequency bands of the different frequency ranges are determined according to the target parameters corresponding to the carrier frequency bands of the different frequency ranges, so that a frequency offset configuration is performed independently on each of the carrier frequency bands of the different frequency ranges.
-
Step 22 includes:
Step 222: performing the frequency offset configuration of the RMSI CORESET with respect to the SSB for the carrier frequency bands in different frequency ranges based on the frequency offset configuration parameters of the carrier frequency bands in different frequency ranges, to obtain frequency offset configuration tables corresponding to the carrier frequency bands in different frequency ranges. - Here, according to the frequency offset configuration parameters of the carrier frequency bands in the different frequency ranges, the frequency offset configuration is separately performed on the carrier frequency bands in the different frequency ranges, and a frequency offset configuration table corresponding to the carrier frequency bands in the different frequency ranges is obtained.
- The carrier frequency bands of the different frequency ranges may include, but are not limited to, a carrier frequency band in a frequency range of 0 to 2.65GHz and/or a carrier frequency band in a frequency range of 2.4 GHz to 6GHz, for example.
- At this time, by the above steps 211 and 222, it is possible to obtain a separate frequency offset configuration table for each of the carrier frequency band in the [0-2.65GHz] frequency range and the carrier frequency band in the [2.4GHz-6GHz] frequency range.
- Since the TS 38.213 table 13-1 is almost full in the current design and cannot support the frequency offsets required for the [2.4-6 GHz] frequency range by adding more configurations, this problem is avoided by using a separate RMSI CORESET frequency offset configuration table for the frequency ranges of [0, 2.65 GHz], and [2.4-6 GHz] in the present disclosure. For the frequency range of [2.4-6 GHz], a frequency band in which the current minimum channel bandwidth is 10 MHz, that is, a frequency offset configuration of 5 MHz bandwidth is not required. In the present disclosure, by using a separate RMSI CORESET frequency offset configuration table for the frequency ranges of [0, 2.65 GHz], and [2.4-6 GHz], more space can be provided for the frequency range of [2.4-6 GHz] to handle the problem of excessive offsets.
- Optionally, step 211 includes:
Step 2111: determining the frequency offset configuration parameters of the carrier frequency bands in different frequency ranges, based on the target parameters corresponding to the carrier frequency bands in different frequency ranges under conditions of SS Raster definitions in different carrier frequency bands, different combinations of RMSI SCS and SSB SCS and different minimum channel bandwidths. - In this case, the SS Raster definition in different carrier frequency bands, the combination of different RMSI SCS and SSB SCS, and the conditions of different minimum channel bandwidths are considered, and the frequency offset configuration parameters are determined by using the target parameters corresponding to the carrier frequency bands in different frequency ranges under these conditions, and then the RMSI CORESET frequency offset configuration is performed based on the frequency offset configuration parameters, so that all the RMSI CORESET frequency offset configurations are realized. In addition, the protocol configuration method is improved, and the correctness of the protocol configuration is ensured.
where the carrier frequency bands of the different frequency ranges include a carrier frequency band in a frequency range of 0 to 2.65GHz and/or a carrier frequency band in a frequency range of 2.4 GHz to 6GHz; The minimum channel bandwidth of the carrier frequency band ranging from 0 to 2.65GHz includes 5 MHz, 10 MHz and/or 20 MHz; The minimum channel bandwidth of the carrier frequency band ranging from 2.4 GHz to 6GHz includes 10 MHz, 20 MHz, and/or 40MHz. - In this case, the frequency offset configuration parameters of the carrier frequency band of the [0-2.65GHz] can be obtained based on the target parameters corresponding to the carrier frequency band of the [0-2.65GHz] at the minimum channel bandwidths of 5 MHz, 10 MHz, and 20 MHz, and the SS Raster definitions in different carrier frequency bands, and different combinations of RMSI SCS and SSB SCS, respectively, so that the offset configuration table of the carrier frequency band of the [0-2.65GHz] can be obtained. Meanwhile, the frequency offset configuration parameters of the carrier frequency band of the [2.4GHz-6GHz] can be obtained according to the target parameters corresponding to the carrier frequency band of the [2.4GHz-6GHz] in the minimum channel bandwidths of 10 MHz, 20 MHz, and 40MHz, and the SS Raster definitions in different carrier frequency bands, and different combinations of RMSI SCS and SSB SCS, respectively, and the offset configuration table of the carrier frequency band of the [2.4GHz-6GHz] can be further obtained.
- In particular, some embodiments of the present disclosure add a frequency offset configuration table for a frequency range of [2.4, 6 GHz] and a minimum channel bandwidth of 40MHz bands.
- Optionally, the minimum channel bandwidth of the carrier frequency band in a frequency range of 0 to 2.65GHz includes 5 MHz and 10 MHz, and the carrier frequency band in a frequency range of 0 to 2.65GHz uses the same frequency offset configuration table at the minimum channel bandwidths of 5 MHz and 10 MHz.
- At this time, in the frequency range of [0-2.65GHz], the same frequency offset configuration table can be used at the minimum channel bandwidths of 5 MHz and 10 MHz by a reasonable design.
- A method according to determining a frequency offset configuration parameter in some embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below.
- Optionally, the frequency offset configuration parameter includes a quantity of candidate frequency offsets and a frequency offset.
Step 21 includes:
Step 212, determining the candidate frequency offset quantity and the frequency offset based on the target parameter which is predetermined and a predetermined rule, where the predetermined rule includes one or more of a rule of minimizing all possible quantities of candidate frequency offset positions within one SS Raster interval and a rule of aligning the SSB with a center of the RMSI CORESET. - In some embodiments of the present disclosure, for a given carrier frequency band corresponding to SS Raster, channel bandwidth, SCS of RMSI, SCS of SSB, and RMSI CORESET bandwidth, when all RMSI CORESET configurations are designed based on the rule of minimizing all possible quantities of candidate frequency offset positions within an SS Raster interval, the configuration method is simplified, and efficiency is improved. When all RMSI CORESET configurations are designed based on the rule of aligning the SSB with the frequency domain position center of the RMSI CORESET, it is possible to ensure that the frequency domain channel responses of the RMSI CORESET and the SSB are substantially equal when the bandwidth of the RMSI CORESET is large, so as to ensure a frequency domain QCL (Quasi-colposition) relationship.
- Optionally, the channel bandwidth parameter includes a quantity of Resource Blocks (RBs) within a channel bandwidth, the RMSI CORESET bandwidth parameter includes a quantity of RBs within a RMSI CORESET bandwidth, and the SS Raster parameter includes an SS Raster interval. Step 212 includes step 2121-2124:
Step 2121: determining, based on the quantity of RBs within the channel bandwidth and the quantity of RBs within the RMSI CORESET bandwidth, a maximum quantity of positions of the SSB supportable by each offset value in a configuration. - Specifically, the step 2121 includes:
determining the maximum quantity of positions Δ SSB of the SSB supportable by each offset value in the configuration, based on the quantity NBW of RBs in a granularity of RMSI RB within the channel bandwidth and the quantity NRMSI of RBs in a granularity of RMSI RB within the RMSI CORESET bandwidth and through the following formula:
where µ is a scaling factor between the SCS (SCSSSB ) of the SSB and the SCS (SCSRMSI ) of the RMSI. That is, SCSSSB = 2 µ ∗SCSRMSI , and µ may be -1, 0, 1, 2, but are not limited thereto, floor represents a rounding down function. - Step 2122: determining, based on the SS Raster interval and a maximum quantity of RB positions possible for placing SS Rasters in the channel bandwidth and according to the rule of minimizing all possible quantities of candidate frequency offset positions within one SS Raster interval, a maximum quantity of candidate RB positions possible for placing the SS Rasters in the channel bandwidth.
- Here, the maximum quantity of candidate RB positions at which the SS Raster may be placed in the channel bandwidth to be considered corresponds to the number N of possible SSB positions at which the SS Raster may be placed in the channel bandwidth to be considered. N depends on the following two values: A) SS Raster interval; B) Maximum number of RB positions within the channel bandwidth where SS Raster may be placed.
-
-
- Here, if the SS Raster interval is smaller than, it is possible to place a plurality of SS Raster in the carrier bandwidth. However, from the RMSI CORESET frequency offset configuration design, it is required to use a minimum number of frequency offsets, that is, a rule of minimizing all possible quantities of candidate frequency offset positions within one SS Raster interval. Therefore, it is necessary to consider only the quantity of RB positions in which it is possible to place one SS Raster within its period, that is, N Sync N' N = min(NSync ,N').
- Step 2123: determining the candidate frequency offset quantity P, based on the maximum quantity N of RB positions possible for placing SS Rasters in the channel bandwidth and the maximum quantity of positions Δ SSB of the SSB supportable by each offset value in the configuration and through the following formula:
where ceiling represents an rounding up function. - Here, the quantity P of subsequent frequency offsets required for the RMSI CORESET configuration is equal to the maximum quantity N of candidate RB positions within the channel bandwidth where SS Raster may be placed, divided by the maximum quantity of positions Δ SSB where each offset value in the previous configuration may support SSB, and then rounded up.
- Step 2124: determining a candidate set of frequency offsets, based on the candidate frequency offset quantity, the maximum quantity of positions of the SSB supportable by each offset value in the configuration and a predefined initial offset.
- Specifically, the step 2124 includes:
determining a frequency offset step size Δ RMSI based on the maximum quantity of positions Δ SSB of the SSB supportable by each offset value in the configuration and through the following formula:
where µ is a scaling factor between the SCS of the SSB and the SCS of the RMSI; NRMSI is the quantity of RBs in a granularity of RMSI RB in the RMSI CORESET bandwidth. - Here, the frequency offset step size Δ RMSI is calculated from the scaling factor between the SCS of the SSB and the SCS of the RMSI, and the value of Δ RMSI uses RMSI RB as the granularity. Since the granularity size is SSB RB, Δ SSB is multiplied by 2^µ to be converted to Δ RMSI . In addition, the maximum frequency offset should be smaller than the difference between the RMSI CORESET bandwidth and the SSB bandwidth, so that:
-
- Finally, a candidate set of frequency offsets can be obtained: O
where the choice of O 0 is not unique. This means, for example, O 0 = 0 means that SSB and RMSI CORESET start with bottom alignment. In general, the SSB and RMSI CORESET should be designed to meet the as central alignment rule as possible so as to ensure that the frequency-domain channel responses of the RMSI and the SSB are substantially equal when the bandwidth of the RMSI is large, to ensure the frequency-domain QCL relationship. - Optionally, before step 21242, the method further comprises:
Step 23: determining the initial offset O 0, based on the quantity NRMSI of RBs in the granularity of RMSI RB in the RMSI CORESET bandwidth, the candidate frequency offset quantity P and the frequency offset step size Δ RMSI and the rule of aligning the SSB with the center of the RMSI CORESET. - In this case, the initial offset O 0 is determined based on the rule of alignment of the SSB and the center of the RMSI CORESET. When the bandwidth of the RMSI CORESET is large, it is possible to ensure that the frequency-domain channel responses of the RMSI CORESET and the SSB are substantially equal, so as to ensure the frequency-domain QCL relationship.
- Specifically, the
step 23 includes:
Step 231: determining the initial offset O 0, based on the quantity NRMSI of RBs in the granularity of RMSI RB in the RMSI CORESET bandwidth, the candidate frequency offset quantity P and the frequency offset step size Δ RMSI and the rule of aligning the SSB with the center of the RMSI CORESET and through the followingformula -
FIG. 3 ,FIG. 4 , andFIG. 5 are schematic views of frequency offset configuration using the above-described system information configuration methods of some embodiments of the present disclosure in three typical scenarios, respectively. In the scenario ofFIG. 3 , in the scenario ofFIG. 4 , In the scenario ofFIG. 5 , where. - The RMSI CORESET frequency offset configuration table of the NR band in which the carrier frequency is lower than 6GHz, which is generated using the above-described system information configuration method in some embodiments of the present disclosure, will be described as an example.
- Table 1 below provides different channel bandwidths to be considered when designing frequency offsets in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the quantity of channel bandwidths RB (Resource Block, resource blocks) at different channel bandwidths for different SCS (granularity is RMSI RB), and the quantity of RMSI CORESET bandwidths RB to be considered when designing frequency offsets (granularity is RMSI RB).
with respect to the SS Raster parameter:Table 1 SCS (kHz) Channel bandwidth (MHz) Channel bandwidth RB Number NBW (RBs) RMSI CORESET bandwidth RB number NRMSI (RBs) 15 5 25 24 10 52 48 20 106 96 30 10 24 24 20 51 48 40 106 96
In the frequency range of [0-2.65GHz], the frequency band having the minimum channel bandwidth of 5 MHz, the defined SS Raster interval is 900kHz. For example, when SSB SCS is 15kHz, SSB PB = 12∗15kHz =180kHz, the SS Raster interval is 900kHz, meaning that one RB of every five SSB RB can place SS Raster, i.e.: similarly, when SSB SCS is 30kHz,
NSync = floor(900kHz/180kHz) = 5RBs
NSync = floor(900kHz/360kHz) = 2RBs - In the frequency range of [0-2.65GHz], the frequency band having the minimum channel bandwidth of 10 MHz, the defined SS Raster interval is 1800kHz. For example, when SSB SCS is 15kHz, SSB RB = 12∗15kHz =180kHz, the SS Raster interval is 1800kHz, meaning that one RB in every 10 SSB RB can place the SS Raster, i.e., similarly, when SSB SCS is 30kHz,
NSync = floor(1800kHz/180kHz) = 10RBs
NSync = floor(1800kHz/360kHz) = 5RBs - In the frequency range of [2.4, 6 GHz], the frequency band having the minimum channel bandwidth of 10 MHz, the defined SS Raster interval is 3∗1.44 = 4.32MHz. For example, when SSB SCS is 15kHz, SSB RB = 12∗15kHz = 180kHz, the SS Raster interval is 4.32MHz, meaning that one RB in every 24 SSB RB can place SS Raster, i.e.: Similarly, when SSB SCS is 30kHz,
NSync = floor(4.32MHz/180kHz) = 24RBs
NSync = floor(4.32MHz/360kHz) = 12RBs - In the frequency range of [2.4, 6 GHz], the frequency band having the minimum channel bandwidth of 40MHz, the defined SS Raster interval is 21∗1.44 = 30.24MHz. For example, when SSB SCS is 30kHz,.The SS Raster interval is 30.24MHz, meaning that one RB in each 84 SSB RB can place the SS Raster, i.e.,
SSB RB = 12∗30kHz = 360kHz
NSync = floor(30.24MHz/360kHz) = 84RBs - Tables 2 to 4, 5a and 5b give frequency offset configuration parameters when {SSB SCS, RMSI SCS} is {15,15} kHz, {15,30} kHz, {30,15} kHz, {30,30} kHz, respectively.
- The frequency offset configuration parameters corresponding to the first three items in Tables 2 to 4 and 5a (a frequency band in which the [0-2.65GHz] minimum channel bandwidth is 5 MHz, a frequency band in which the [0-2.65GHz] minimum channel bandwidth is 10 MHz, and a frequency band in which the [2.4-6GHz] minimum channel bandwidth is 10 MHz) and the frequency offset configuration parameters in Table 5b are calculated based on the flow chart for determining the frequency offset configuration parameters, Table 1, and the above SS Raster parameter information in the above system information configuration methods of some embodiments of the present disclosure. The configuration parameters of Table 13-1 or Table 13-2 from TS 38.213 [1] are also compared in Table 2 to Table 4, Table 5a.

- The method in some embodiments of the present disclosure, for a frequency offset configuration table of RMSI CORESET versus SSB, is jointly designed taking into account combinations of different SSB SCS and RMSI SCS, different channel bandwidths, different SS Raster definitions in different carrier bands, and different RMSI CORESET bandwidths.
- In addition, a separate frequency offset configuration table is used for each of the carrier frequency band in the [0-2.65GHz] frequency range and the carrier frequency band in the [2.4GHz-6GHz] frequency range.
- In addition, in the frequency range of [0-2.65GHz], the minimum channel bandwidths of 5 MHz and 10 MHz are configured using the same frequency offset table by a reasonable design.
- Specifically, Table 5a, {SSB SCS, RMSI SCS} is exemplified as {30, 30} kHz. When the minimum channel bandwidth is 10 MHz, the candidate sets of required frequency offsets according to Table 5a are {0, 1, 2, 3, 4} and {12, 18}, respectively, for the RMSI CORESET bandwidth RB numbers NRMSI being 24RBs and 48RBs. When the minimum channel bandwidth is 5 MHz and the quantity of RMSI CORESET bandwidths RB is 24RBs, the candidate set of required frequency offsets according to Table 5a is {1, 2, 3}. Thus, for NRMSI being 24RBs, the frequency offset at a minimum channel bandwidth of 10 MHz already includes all the frequency offsets required at a minimum channel bandwidth of 5 MHz. For NRMSI being 48RBs, the first frequency offset given in Table 5a at a minimum channel bandwidth of 5 MHz is also the only frequency offset O 0 = 14 required. Since the first frequency offset can be virtually any value from 0 to, such as 12, the frequency offset at a minimum channel bandwidth of 10 MHz for NRMSI being 48RBs already includes all the frequency offsets required at a minimum channel bandwidth of 5 MHz. Therefore, by a reasonable design, it is possible to make the minimum channel bandwidths 5 MHz and 10 MHz use the same frequency offset configuration table.
- Among them, TS 38.213 Table 13-1 to Table 13-4 can be modified based on the method in some embodiments of the present disclosure for the frequency range of [0-2.65 GHz], with the minimum channel bandwidth of 5 MHz and 10 MHz frequency offset using the same configuration table. Table 13-1, Table 13-2, Table 13-3 and Table 13-4 in the modified TS 38.213 are shown in Tables 6 to 9 below.
- Here, in TS 38.213, a frequency offset configuration table used for a frequency band having a minimum channel bandwidth of 10 MHz in the frequency range of [2.4-6GHz] is added, as shown in Tables 10 to 13.
- Further, for a frequency range of [2.4-6GHz], the minimum channel bandwidth is 40MHz, and the SS Raster interval is 30.24MHz. For example, when the SCS is 30kHz, only one RB can place SS Raster per 84 SSB RB. The frequency offset configuration values used may be as shown in Table 13. Unlike the frequency range of [2.4-6GHz], where the minimum channel bandwidth is a frequency band of 10 MHz, we recommend increasing in TS 38.213 the frequency offset configuration table for the frequency range of [2.4-6GHz] where the minimum channel bandwidth is a 40MHz frequency band and {SSB SCS, RMSI SCS} is {30,30} kHz, as shown in Table 14.
- Further, Tables 8 and 12 can be combined into one table, Table 15. Similarly, Tables 9 and 13 may well be combined into one table, Table 16.
